twilight

been MONTHS (or years?) since i last run/jog.. the last time... i cant rem when.. but was that time when it caused that intolerable backache i mentioned in one of the entries... yar since then lor.. but i juz got back to running! why? coz i dunno for wad reason, dunno wad got over me, i signed up for the full 42.195km marathon this coming december... peer pressure mayb, mayb i juz wan to move on.. or mayb like wad ppl say, "to do it (at least)once in a lifetime"..

had my 2nd run 2 evenings ago, started at abt 7pm, ended at abt 8pm... these days the sun sets somewhere 730pm.. so as im doing my 2nd round, i'll be admiring the colours of the sky..and the sky will get darker and darker... juz in a matter of minutes, it's night time.. if not for the street lights lining the road, lights from the buzzling foodcourt, lights from NTUC where commuters queue for their groceries purchase, i doubt the moonlight is bright enough to lit my way home.. somehow this reminds me of the times when we were out trekking some years ago.. as the sun sets, we'll double-up our pace so that we can get to our campsite to set up our camp b4 darkness falls.. then we'll change into something more comfortable, and sit around a fire and cooking our dinner.. somehow so primitive, so simple, so sufficient... and.. im missing those times!!
